Living in a divided world, Freya is forced into an arranged marriage as a part of a peace treaty between families. Her new husband is Cain, an heir to the competing Vargar family. Despite tensions their relationship grows deeper…

However, this is only the beginning of their journey. What happens when the newfound peace is threatened again?

As his hand drifted up my neck, he felt like a beast. "You saved my life Juliette," he said. "And now I am bound to you. It is a bond that cannot be broken until my debt is repaid. Until I fulfill your deepest desires, I cannot, and I will not, let you go.”

When Juliette pulls a warrior back from the edge of death, she never expects the price to be a bond that binds her to him. Fierce, unyielding, and impossible to ignore, he swears he won’t release her until her heart’s desire is fulfilled. But what exactly does she crave? A bond forged in fire becomes a dangerous game of power, passion, and unspoken need. Every glance is a dare, every touch a promise—and with each moment, the line between captor and protector blurs. Juliette must decide whether the bond is her cage or her key… and just how far she’s willing to let him go to give her everything she secretly longs for.

Brooklyn grows up believing her life is meant to be small, quiet, and survivable. Orphaned and mistreated, she learns to endure rather than dream. Then the truth shatters everything she knows. She is also Sahara, heir to a hidden elven realm that thrives on magic, secrets, and strict expectations. Royal blood unlocks ancient power, but it also comes wrapped in prophecy, rules, and a future already written by others. As magic stirs and choices narrow, Sahara must decide who she is willing to become. Obedient heir or defiant force? Strength rises where fear once lived, and destiny begins to look less like a promise and more like a challenge she is ready to face.

FAE is the first installment in a gripping trilogy of Light versus Dark: FAE, by novelists Colet Abedi and Jasmine Abedi. Inspired by a mystery that remains unsolved more than 400 years later – the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island – and with compelling narrative urgency, the authors transport the reader into the world of the Fae, both Light and Dark, as the battle that has been destined for thousands of years is about to begin…

Manteo High School student Caroline Ellis just turned sixteen, setting in motion a series of events that have been fated for centuries. Little does she know that she is the rightful heir to the throne of the Light Fae, and it is believed that she is the one to unite the Light and the Dark through union with her soul mate: heir to throne of the Dark Fae, Devilyn Reilly.

Devilyn is the only one of the Fae who is both of the Light and of the Dark and must struggle to maintain that precarious balance and not to succumb to the power of the Dark within him. Understanding his mission – that he is the only one who can save Caroline from those who would destroy her; destroy all hope for unity amongst the Fae and the very future of humanity – he is reluctantly enrolled at Manteo High School, quickly becoming its star quarterback.

After a tumultuous relationship, Devilyn tells Caroline who she is. Who he is. He promises her that he will protect her at all costs, and this also means protecting her from him. They can and never will be together, for the prophecy also makes clear that the union that will bring peace amongst the Fae will also bring Caroline’s own destruction...

Told from the alternating perspectives of Caroline and Devilyn, FAE draws on mysteries, myths and legends to create a world, and a romance, dangerously poised between Light and Dark.

Lydia, a woman with ancient powers drawn from legends, must fulfill her destiny in being the guardian of the king of shadows, Gabriel, and despite the loathsome sentiments the two harbor for each other, they find themselves fighting off more than just their growing feelings, but also the foreboding signs of a prophecy that alludes to war.

Mila never expects a chance encounter with a stranger to reveal the most feared man in the kingdom—the king with the stone hand. He is hated, avoided, forgotten. She is the stubborn saintess, adored for her light. Their first meeting sparks curiosity, their second feels like fate, and their third seals a dangerous bond neither of them can ignore. He is the kingdom’s sinner. She is its saint. But when destiny insists on weaving them together, walls begin to crack and truths refuse to stay hidden. Every saint has shadows. Every sinner holds secrets. And somewhere between light and darkness, redemption might be waiting.

Custom demanded that Prince Urban get a love mark tattooed to the side of his left eye as an infant, just like the rest of his people, but to him, the stupid things have only brought on the scorn of his father, the misery of his siblings, and caused his entire kingdom to go broke from fighting so many wars over the irritating ink stains.

When Urban’s sister must travel to Donnelly, the kingdom within the sand, for her arranged marriage to align two realms, he goes with her. But he no sooner steps foot inside their castle than his mark starts itching like a son of a bitch, telling him his one true love is near.

It just figures, though, that the woman meant for him is completely forbidden. Now he must decide if he should ignore the persistent mark, telling him she's the one, in order to avoid a possible war between kingdoms, or if he should discover whether she's worth risking everything for so they can be together. Either way, his life gets sucked into chaos with threats of beheadings, dark magic lurking, castle traitors scheming, and sword fights eminent.

Who knew one little tattoo could cause so much trouble?

“Stay out of my way,” the grump growls… while standing way too close. Kat came to Black Hollow for a fresh start, not a tall, feral man who acts like she’s a problem he can’t stop staring at. Before any of the weirdness, she’s just a competent vet tech with a motel hangover and a new job at Thorn Veterinary. Then Kael walks in with an injured German Shepherd and that “touch my dog wrong and I’ll bite” attitude, and Kat has to kneel in front of him to bandage the paw. You’d think he’d say thanks. He says her full name like it tastes good. Which is… rude. Later she follows her tiny black cat into the woods and finds Kael shirtless at an outdoor gym, all sweat and muscles and bad decisions, and he still tries to boss her around (she should hate him—she does hate him). But he grabs a flashlight and leads her onto “pack land” to help her search anyway, and yes, you’re coming with her. They step into the tree line together. Will he pin her to the wall or protect her first?

Iris’s life explodes in chaos when deadly creatures rip away the only family she’s ever known. Before she can catch her breath, a magnetic elf prince sweeps her into Antaris—a dazzling, dangerous world she never knew existed, yet somehow belongs to. With her past shrouded in mystery and shadows stalking her every move, Iris must untangle the secrets buried in her own blood. The deeper she falls into this realm of magic and peril, the clearer it becomes: the power inside her could save everything… or destroy it. And the clock is ticking.

Lux grows up in a world forever changed when alien beings arrive and settle among humans. Among them is Jax, her best friend and a Rainer who has always felt like home—until he suddenly disappears from her life without warning. Left with unanswered questions and a heart full of confusion, Lux tries to move on, but nothing about their bond ever truly fades. When hidden truths begin to surface, she is pulled into a conflict far bigger than she ever imagined, where loyalty, identity, and desire blur into something dangerous. As the line between human and alien worlds begins to crack, Lux must decide what she is willing to risk for answers, and whether some connections are strong enough to survive the truth.

Tempura is the hero everyone whispers about—the fearless warrior who rides a mighty dragon into battle. The truth? She’s never fought a war, never swung a sword, and definitely never slain a soul. But in a brewing clash between humans and dragons, she’s been cast as the savior… and she has no choice but to play the part. Hiding in her mountain home, she thinks she’s a Dragon Master—until a battered, real one shows up on her doorstep. Together, they uncover that neither of them is truly in control. The dragons have their own plans, and Tempura must discover her real power before the truth shatters everything.

In a realm carved apart by war, Sylviara reigns as a scholar-queen determined to rebuild what her tyrant brother destroyed. From the frozen North rides Kaelthar, a fearsome berserker whose rage once fueled the very battles she now seeks to end. When fate binds them together, fire meets ice—and the sparks ignite something stronger than either expected. As betrayal brews and ancient prophecies stir, their union becomes more than alliance or desire. It’s the one force powerful enough to mend a kingdom torn in two. But peace demands sacrifice—and even legends are forged in fire.

Toraval, a once-proud Fae prince, now wanders the vale in exile, stripped of title, power, and purpose. His life is empty, his path uncertain, until he finds Emmaline—a Fire Fae, last of her kind, hunted to extinction and erased from memory. Duty whispers that delivering her to his family could restore everything he lost: his name, his throne, his power. But desire burns hotter than obligation. As his heart betrays his plans, Toraval must choose between reclaiming a crown or protecting the woman he never expected to love, in a world where love is the ultimate rebellion.

At last, the Queen awakens. Can the affections of a human male awaken the rest of the species, as well?

Corey isn’t like the other explorers who have entered the long-lost dragon temple deep in the Sumatran jungle. Whereas to his eyes, their predilections are hardly discriminate, he longs for a partner—a woman who will be his equal, who might love him as much as she challenges him.

What he’s presented with, however, is a woman who just might be his better. Racha, the Queen of Dragons, has awakened after five centuries of slumber, and she only has eyes for Corey, despite them hardly knowing one another. His reluctance to bed her delays the last and most crucial step in the ritual which will awaken the brood of dragons she rules, and though her beautiful, perfect form serves as temptation, Corey can’t bring himself to give up his preconceived notions of what love is.

The clock is ticking, and so is the time-bomb of power inside Rasha. Can she convince him to listen to his heart, or will the energy granted to her by the other couples’ unions consume them both?

I had him shackled and bound, but he was still in control. "I want to break you apart," he growled. So I whispered, "Then earn it." He will.

She’s a goddess who holds the world in her hands—yet craves the one thing she can’t command: surrender. He’s the mortal bold enough to take her there, binding her with chains and pulling her into a storm of pain and pleasure she never imagined. But passion this fierce doesn’t come without a cost. When an immortal dragon refuses to pay love’s price, the balance of fate shatters. Desire turns dangerous, devotion burns like fire, and the line between ruin and redemption grows razor-thin. In a realm where gods can fall and mortals can rise, obsession might just be the only way to survive.
